Green 33cl bottle, poured into a Hoegaarden Grand Cru stemmed tulip glass.

Looks like a lager/pilsner, bright, clear and golden, with a white head that doesn't hang around.

Very floral in the nose and initial taste. I believe Taa Kawa is 'Fruits of the forest' in the Maori tongue. The beer is flavoured with some native spice from the forests, hence the name.

It has a different and interesting taste to be honest, an 'indigeous ale' according to the bottle, but appears more of a lager/pilsner to my taste buds and eyes.

This is also the first beer from NZ I've reviewed on BA, had a few over the years, but not since joining this site.
